Destroyed my plants
I was excited to use this since it's from a small business in Portland, but it killed a lot of my plants.
Here's a summary of the carnage:
- fern is dead
- white fusion calathea (so finicky but was thriving) is dead
- spiderworts had half the growth rot
- new growth on a few peperomias rotted
- half my peperomia stalks rotted
- two of my pothos have moldy soil
- half the leaves on my baby monstera died
- half my small nerve plant died
What's doing okay:
- a few pothos, including a small one from cuttings a few months back
- all my snake plants
- adult monstera
- birds of paradise
- one nerve plant
The instructions say to sprinkle on the soil or to dilute in water. I opted for the sprinkle, and maybe the mistake is mine and I overfertilized?? I sprinkled sparingly.
Even so, since it didn't say how much to sprinkle,dilution should be the preferred method. If I had known that, I never would have sprinkled because that may be a cause in my plant deaths.
This fertilizer might be perfectly fine, but it's expensive and my plants are dead, so I won't be using it again.
